The Egg Men: First There Was An EGG

Knightshades Photography in West Calder have built a brand new photography studio within their unit in Young Street.

At 4,500 cubic feet with drive in access it is equipped with a twenty foot infinity cove and is purpose built to incorporate vehicle photography.

West Lothian Photographer Martin Sweeny want,s to bring the fun back into getting your family's portraits taken, he believes you shouldn't have to rob a bank to have nice pictures of your family or friends.

After a lot of market research he also he has noticed there is a gap in the market that needs to be catered for, so many people have asked him to photograph their dogs that he intends extending his work to involve pet portraits.

As well as using the studio for his own work Martin intends to rent his space and equipment to other West Lothian photographers.

"Their is a lack of affordable facilities where students and young photographers can go to practice their art said Martin Sweeny" money is very tight at the moment and even the most basic of studio equipment is so expensive that it is out of reach for most young photographers.

Martin suggested that students could offer their services to family and friends at a low price to help them get valuable experience and fund their education.

By not having to fork out thousands of pounds on studio equipment they could soon start to see a profit being made. Every penny saved by renting Knight Shades studio could go towards another lens or some studio equipment of their own, by the time they leave college or university they could have earned enough cash to fund their own photography studio.

Student discount cards will be available turning the dream of studio photography into a reality.
